This brings the genius of his music back to life with a lively and talented cast performing all of his unforgettable hits.

Peggy Sue, That’ll be the Day and Oh Boy are just a few of the songs that had the audience enthusiastically clapping and rocking away.

In the show-stopping Apollo scene, Buddy and his group, The Crickets, are seen bridging the gap between black and white and it is apparent that Buddy was a groundbreaker of his time. Alex Fobbester, who plays him, is a talented singer and was energetic to the end.

The first half featured a consistent balance of music and dialogue with the second half being lead by the music.

The cast ended with Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry, which brought the audience to their feet and continued into a standing ovation. A thoroughly enjoyable watch.
